How to open eml file gmail

EML files are email messages saved in a plain text format, and Gmail doesn't natively support opening them. However, there are a few ways to open an EML file in Gmail:

Method 1: Convert EML to PDF and then upload to Gmail

  1. Download and install a free EML converter software like EML Viewer or EML Converter.
  2. Open the EML file using the software and convert it to a PDF file.
  3. Upload the PDF file to Gmail by attaching it to a new email or creating a new email with the PDF file as an attachment.

Method 2: Use a third-party add-on or extension

  1. Install a third-party add-on or extension like EML Viewer for Gmail or Email Client for Gmail.
  2. Once installed, you can open the EML file directly in Gmail by clicking on the add-on's icon in your browser toolbar.
  3. The add-on will convert the EML file to a readable format and display it in Gmail.

Method 3: Forward the EML file to yourself

  1. Forward the EML file to your Gmail address.
  2. In the forwarded email, you'll see the EML file as an attachment.
  3. Click on the attachment to open it in Gmail.

Method 4: Use a web-based EML viewer

  1. Upload the EML file to a web-based EML viewer like EML Viewer Online or EML File Viewer.
  2. The website will convert the EML file to a readable format and display it online.
  3. You can then copy and paste the contents of the EML file into a new email in Gmail.

Please note that these methods may have limitations, such as formatting issues or compatibility problems. If you need to open EML files frequently, it's recommended to use a dedicated email client or a third-party add-on that supports EML files.
